I'M GRATEFUL TO EF ENGLISH LIVE

"Before I signed up to study English online, my language level was very low. But
already after completing level 2 I could understand a lot more vocabulary and
sentences. I'll definitely keep going until level 16. Thank you for making it
fun and easy to learn English."

Mona Saudi Arabia

THIS WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE

"Studying English with EF English Live was a great experience not only thanks to
the many resources available to the students but also because I really improved
my English level during the course. I'm now at level C1 and C2 in listening and
reading, and B2 in grammar. I'm aiming to get to C1 overall."

José Colombia

I CHOSE THIS COURSE TO IMPROVE MY ENGLISH LEVEL

"I really wanted to improve my English and this was the perfect solution. I was
already on level B1 when I signed up for an english course with EF English Live.
When I had finished the course I was able to get a C1 certificate. Great course,
affordable prices."

Miriam Italy

EXCELLENT COURSE TO IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH LEVEL

"The platform is great and the courses are divided into several sections
depending on your English level. They even have specialized lessons, such as
English for finance. I found the private lessons most helpful to improve my
English level."

Nicolas France





JUST IN CASE YOU MISSED ANYTHING.

Here are a few of our frequently asked questions about English certificates.


WHAT DOES EACH LEVEL OF THE CERTIFIED ENGLISH COURSES INCLUDE?



Each level contains 6 study units with instructions in English, French, German,
Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Thai, Korean, Simplified Chinese,
Traditional Chinese, Arabic and Turkish. The study units will introduce you to
new vocabulary and new grammar rules placed within a real context using, among
other things, high quality videos. We will then help you practice what you've
learned with interactive exercises that include speaking, listening, reading and
writing.


HOW DO THE EF ENGLISH LIVE LEARNING LEVELS WORK?



Before you begin your online English lessons, we'll invite you to take our
English test. This will accurately gauge your proficiency level, so we can
recommend which of the 16 levels you should start from. Alternatively, you can
choose a level or course yourself at any time. Every time you complete a level,
you'll receive a diploma certified by EF English Live to prove your achievement.
To ensure your results are recognised globally, we've aligned each stage of our
course with the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for
Languages (CEFR):

 * Levels 1 - 3 are for beginners (CEFR A1)

 * 4 - 6 are for elementary students (CEFR A2)

 * 7 - 9 are for intermediate (CEFR B1)

 * 10 - 12 for upper intermediate (CEFR B2)

 * 13 - 15 for advanced (CEFR C1)

 * Level 16 is for upper advanced students (CEFR C2).


HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PASS A LEVEL?



There's no fixed answer to this, as every student learns at their own pace. As a
guide, you should expect each unit to take a minimum of 3 to 4 hours to
complete. Every level contains six units, so you are likely to need 18 to 24
hours to complete a level and earn your English certificate. Our school is
designed to fit with your life, so you can make progress whenever you have time
to study and get the results you're aiming for.


WHAT ENGLISH CERTIFICATES WILL I GET?



Every time you complete one of the 16 levels within our online English school,
you'll receive a diploma certified by EF English Live to prove your achievement.
Plus, if you complete a level within our Business English course, you'll receive
a certificate for that too. We store your certificates securely online so that
you can access them whenever you need to prove your skills to potential
employers, academic institutions or friends and family.

In addition to the live lessons with native speaking Pro Teachers, our
innovative Advanced Speech Recognition (ASR) software will evaluate your
pronunciation, just like a real tutor. You will then receive feedback after each
unit to make sure you are confident enough in your abilities before advancing to
the next unit. Once you have completed the 6 units of your current level, you
will earn a certificate and you can proceed to the next level to further improve
your language skills.


WHAT IS THE BEST ENGLISH CERTIFICATION?



The best English certification depends on your goals. If you're looking to apply
to the university of your dreams, we advise you to check which English
certifications are accepted by the university; most likely it will be TOEFL and
IELTS, but they are not the only ones. If it is a question of applying for work
abroad, then the TOEIC might be right for you.


WHY CHOOSE A CERTIFIED ONLINE ENGLISH COURSE?



In today's academic and work landscape, claiming to have a good knowledge of the
English language is not enough. A certificate demonstrating your English skills
will make you stand out from the crowd. EF English Live's certified English
courses are also aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for
Languages (CEFR), so that organizations and companies can immediately understand
your level of English simply by looking at the certification you have obtained
with us.


WHEN DO ENGLISH CERTIFICATIONS EXPIRE?



English certifications do not have an expiration date, unless the certifying
body specifies a date. EF English Live's certified online English courses
provide certificates that have no expiration date.
